Definitions

  • An engineered stone and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed.
  • Natural stones such as granite and marble can have beautiful patterns on the surface thereof and thus have been used as building decoration material. Recently, the demand for natural stones for use in applications such as flooring, wall panels, sinks, and the like has significantly increased. However, this demand may not be met only with high cost natural stones. Accordingly, various artificial stones are also being developed and used.
  • the artificial stones are classified into general artificial stones manufactured by adding various mixing materials such as an inorganic filler, a colorant, a curing agent, and the like to an acryl-based or unsaturated polyester base resin and resin-based engineered stones (so called, "engineering stones") manufactured by mixing an inorganic (silica-based) natural mineral and a binder resin to obtain a compound and then, vacuuming, vibrating, compressing, and molding the compound to appear a texture of the natural stones.

  • engineered stones manufactured by mixing an inorganic (silica-based) natural mineral and a binder resin to obtain a compound and then, vacuuming, vibrating, compressing, and molding the compound to appear a texture of the natural stones.
  • the resin-based engineered stones may be manufactured to show various colors and textures depending on a kind of natural mineral, a color of a resin or pigment, a stirring process, and the like and more excellent natural textures than the general artificial stones due to a use of the natural mineral as a main material and thus have recently been in increasing demand.
  • These resin-base engineered stones may be manufactured to have a single color, a multicolor tone by adding pigments having different colors one another and mixing resin mixtures having various colors in a mixer, or a natural stone texture by using a chip.
  • an attempt to apply luminance to the artificial marble by using a noctilucenct material such as a phosphorescent material and the like, a light emitting material such as an ultraviolet (UV) emitting as well as ultraviolet (UV) absorbing material, or the like has been made.
  • a conventional phosphorescent artificial marble may be manufactured in a method of coating a phosphorescent pigment on the surface or creating a texture by using a phosphorescent chip.
  • a phosphorescent chip When the phosphorescent chip is used, uniform phosphorescence may not be obtained, and when the phosphorescent pigment is coated on the surface, the texture on the surface may be different from that of natural marble.
  • the conventional phosphorescent artificial marble uses an excessive amount of the phosphorescent pigment to accomplish sufficient phosphorescence performance.
  • the phosphorescent pigment is expensive and thus may increase a manufacturing cost when used in the excessive amount and resultantly, put an obstacle on commercial availability of the artificial marble. Accordingly, a request of accomplishing sufficient phosphorescence by minimizing use of the phosphorescent pigment has been made.

Furthermore, it relates to marble that includes unsaturated polyester resin (A), compound containing silica (B), and amorphous luminescent chip (C).
